Super Bowl Predictions

We polled the Guyism staff to get their predictions for the Super Bowl. Not surprisingly, its a unanimous sweep for the Indianapolis Colts

While I would love to see the Saints win, I just don’t think they have enough defense to pull it off. Frankly, I’m surprised they’ve gotten this far being that weak on one side of the ball. They dominated teams early in the season but jumping out to huge leads and pinning their backs on the rush. But as the season went on, they struggled in low scoring games, losers of their last three.

They have NO shot in this game if its the in the 20s. At a minimum, they’ll need 35 points to even sniff a victory.

As for the Colts, this game will cement Peyton Manning as the greatest quarterback in NFL history. If he doesn’t throw for at least 300 yards and 3 touchdowns, I’d be completely shocked.

Colts-38
Saints-21

I predict that Peyton Manning will struggle through the first 20 minutes, then pick the Saints apart with laser-like precision and the Colts will cover the spread. I also predict that a female Saints fan will take her top off and someone will get it on video and post it on the Internet.

I think that the Colts win this game. Last week the Saints gave up almost 500 yards of offense to a team that I don’t feel is as good of an offense as Peyton and the Colts. They also had the 26th ranked pass defense during the season and while a lot of that was due to teams having to play catch-up to their high powered offense, I still think Peyton Manning takes over this game. He’s been in this situation before, so I doubt he’ll get the jitters and try to force things and I just see him having a much easier time letting the game come to him than Brees will. Manning is a great pace guy and doesn’t mind playing from behind in the 4th quarter, so I think if the Saint’s offense struggles to get moving (depends a lot on the health of Dwight Freeney), then Manning will systematically pick apart the Saints defense and win his second Super Bowl ring.

Although it could just as easily turn into an epic “Wild Bunch-esque” shootout; sending the “over” on yards and Brett Favre gunslinger references through the roof and my remote control through my television.

I go with the Colts, but it’s gonna be close…

i’d like to see the saints, but i think picking them would be more heart than head

The Colts are going to win, they have the greatest quarterback in the history of the game. His organization is already working on a new contract for him that’s going to make him the highest paid football player of all time, and all this is being reported before they’ve even played the game.

The Saints are the clear fan favorite, I think they have a wider arsenal of weapons, their receivers just DON’T drop balls. But, betting against Peyton is just throwing money away. So I’m going to place a bet on the Colts, but I’ll be rooting for the Saints, because New Orleans deserves some celebratory rioting, and I’m an nfc south guy. Colts, 38-31
